Rookie revelation Eovaldi leads the Dodgers as they go for a Rockies sweep, but don't expect him to pitch deep into the game, as the Dodgers are closely monitoring his pitch count. Do expect 31/33 man Matt Kemp to continue being awesome, and expect James Loney to continue to cause awesome amounts of bafflement among Dodger fans.

Sax and I will be at today's game, so ping us if you want to say hi. Better yet, just shout out our names — we'll hear you.

He said he considered 'Dre coming out like that in the press as questioning his (Donnie B) integrity, and that of the trainers, and of the organization. He said he'd never send someone out there if it meant they could do further damage to their body, and that he'd rather lose his job than do that in order to win or to bow to front office wishes. He was pretty steamed.

My patience grows thin for these truck and beer commercials with a gruff, deep-throated cowboy type telling me in need to purchase certain products. It makes me far less likely to do so. For those who are attracted to this marketing, methinks they are probably already drinking Coors Light and driving Chevrolet trucks.

I just said a bunch of rude stuff about US beating Japan in the LLWS. Which prompted Mrs Dusty to ponder the rudest thing I've said all year. Lots of material there to consider. "Suck it, Marta!" was one of my fans this year (calendar, not fiscal).

Where should Sellers play next year? Is there even a place for him on the roster? Dee at SSGotta figure they will resign Miles because he's so gritty and cheap.Would Ackbar be too expensive to resign?Casey will be gone and Sellers can play 3rd I think, but I'd rather have a real 3B there

I ain't saying James Loney has manifested himself into the slugger we all thought he would someday be, but he looks like a changed hitter in the box. I don't know what to make of it... He actually likes a hitter!!!

When I coached my daughters team last year I used to psych the girls up and tell them "c'mon look like a hitter!" it always worked, their confidence would skyrocket.
